The Genius Guide to the Dragonrider

Super Genius Games is proud to announce a new line of products for use with the Pathfinder RPG. The Genius Guide series of products are short electronic books that feature new templates, classes, spells, prestige classes and/or magic items. For use by players and GMs, each Genius Guide is low-priced and ready to be dropped into your game.

This release introduces the Dragonrider, a new core class designed for use with the PFRPG. It is a combat-oriented class with minor arcane spellcasting ability, built around having a mystic bond with a true dragon that serves as a steed.

Dragonriders are heroic figures with the power to bond with dragons, gaining lifelong steeds, companions and allies. This bond is more than simply a close friendship, it is a mystic connection between dragonrider and dragon, creating a permanent link fueled by the arcane power inherent to all true dragons.

Just checked out Owen Stephens' Genius Guide to the Dragonrider, after his ‪#‎microfeats‬ post this morning on FB. If dragonriders are something that interest you, you need to have this. If you're on the fence about dragonriders, you should seriousl [...]

Product is good quality, easily playable and fun. You get to play a dragon if you like as a mount and its balanced to fit well into the game. Mostly I like the fact that it comes ready to download into Hero Lab which is a major bonus! [...]

There are some images that are the epitome of the genre they come from, whether it’s a psychic monk with a glowing energy sword for space opera or a leather-clad rebel fleeing from police on hover-bikes through the filthy alleys of a dystopia for cyberp [...]

I come into this review with a bit of a bias. I strongly believe that every campaign should have a point where the players get a shot at riding a dragon. In my current campaign, a player wants to utilize its new dragon buddy. She immediately perked [...]

These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format

These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
